Tips, tricks, and musings from a Canadian technophile

Rather than using the ribbon, there's actually an easy way to get into your headers and footers in Word using your mouse. Just right-click anywhere at the very top or bottom of your document, and you'll see you can click 'Edit Header' or 'Edit Footer'. You need to be in the 'Print Layout' view for this to work (that's the default view). It's not that much shorter than using the ribbon, but a lot of people find it easier to get into their headers and footers using this method.
